Re: [osol-discuss] [desktop-discuss] Nautilus Access List Tab

Is there plans to implement a ACL GUI? If not I really have to wonder why. I am wanting to build an OpenSolaris NAS (because of ZFS) for a client of mine but without a GUI, I can see my support calls increasing quite a bit.

some posts have said you can do it all from a windows client, however that does not seem like a solution to me, more of a workaround.

Ben from cuddletech.com said it was in a version of SXCE, because he wrote about it on his blog. I emailed him and he gave me the following info.

================
Very odd, same behavior on my SX:CE 116 box.
The functionality was added to GNOME-vfs some time ago

(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-0724/gdppz?l=de&a=view). You can

see ACL info for instance by using 'gnomevfs-info /some/path'

What Ben pointed at was SXDE which was something we shipped and stopped.

I think this is what you are seeing.

ACL list was implemented using gnome-vfs for nautilus and was in GNOME 2.20. But in GNOME 2.22, gvfs was written to replace gnome-vfs and since then nautilus has been using gvfs to display the various bits and also helpers for various views. The ACL file dialog was in gome-vfs was never forward ported to gvfs even for ufs. The dialog you should though was a design for zfs which was never implemented (not even in gnome-vfs).

Anything further you can find out would be appreciated.

You'll find out more asking on desktop-discuss, where the GNOME engineers are found, than on the general opensolaris-discuss list.
